How can 10 Minutes Pilates Online can help your Mental Health? 10 minutes Pilates Online done regularly 4 times a week as recommended by Joseph Pilates will have a positive effect on your mind and body.

Pilates developed his method originally called “Contrology” in the 1930’s. His definition was “the complete coordination of body, mind and spirit”

His aim was that you developed a connection between your body and mind to preform the exercises properly. He states that one of the main results of Pilates is gaining mastery over your mind and over complete control of your body.

He suggests in this “New World (this was 1930’s 40’s!) we don’t use our minds enough other than performing everyday tasks. By challenging our bodies we challenge our minds as well. Giving you that refreshing/ well being feeling at the end of your pilates session.”
